Ooh what inspirational photos, I love that marble-top console table. And your aubusson is divine, you are so brave to wrestle with it with only one good arm, hope yours mends soon. A friend recently fell while walking in the bush and broke both her wrists which are now in plaster, poor thing. I have sympathy pains with you both, ouch!

Thank you Margaret! Well, I should have listened to my mom who always told me to watch where I am going and to lift my feet... Sound advice,really. The house is a great inspiration for miniaturists. Josje recently showed wonderful pictures of her visit to another canal house, the Geelvinck Hinlopen house.

Glad you had a bit of fun with Anne, that house looks wonderful, I would love to see it on my next visit. Give the furbabies a hug from me. And I really hope your arm is done healing soon, I think after three months I would have driven my family mad by now if such an accident would ever befall me, I can just imagine how you must feel by this time.

Hi Elly! I hope that your arm is healing steadily although I know it has been slow going for you and frustrating at times, especially when you are itching to make more progress on the Aubusson, but the carpet to date, is So Beautiful so keep going. Your labour is not in vain even if you do feel the handicap.

Stunning miniature settings and it's good to see a cat in front of the fire too. The porcelain is also stunning - simply beautiful. And the view of the canal is just lovely - what a great place to live!
